Office building STG Lange Gasse

The building, a detached solitary structure, is slightly recessed from the building line to underscore the park-like character of the Gellert neighborhood. In compliance with the applicable site development plan of 1989, a four-story building structure was created measuring 22.00 by 65.00 meters and provided with two inner courts. The regular support spacing of 5.40 by 5.40 meters and the flat ceilings of consistent thickness result in a straightforward and economical static structure.

Stability against horizontal forces is obtained by the concrete walls of the staircases and elevators (lifts). All other walls are of non-bearing design in order to ensure flexibility.

The northern glass-roofed inner court opens onto the ground floor in the direction of Lange Gasse and receives the main entrance. The ground floor, slightly below the street level, provides a larger room height and therefore houses, in addition to some offices, mainly building areas designed for representation purposes such as the generous entrance hall, the multifunctional auditorium and several meeting rooms.

The office zones of the three upper stories, which can be flexibly subdivided and are located around the facade, allow office typologies matched to the specific user needs, ranging from cell and group offices to desk-sharing offices. The inner zone of the building features the vertical access routes and the ancillary rooms, arranged alternately with the two glass-roofed inner courts. This simple and transparent assignment of uses creates clarity in the organization and makes it easier for people to find their way around on all building floors.

The basement includes a parking level with 23 parking spaces, which are naturally lit through a lateral opening, plus the necessary areas for building systems, security and storage.

The facade consists of a non-bearing skin of wood-and-aluminum elements, which are mounted slightly staggered from one building level to the next. This creates a varied, slightly irritating play of closed and transparent facade sections, giving the building an individual and unmistakable character.
